Teach extended techniques with these seven original melodic solos. These seven original compositions

harmonics, multiphonics, pitch bends, simultaneous singing & playing, tongue thrust, whistle tones, and experimenting
with wind noise. This book of extended technique solos for flute and piano is a follow-up to the duet book Extended

accompaniment. Basic explanations are provided with each piece, while more detailed explanations on extended techniques
are included in the program notes.
